Wed, 11 May 2011 00:10:45 +0000http://chiotsrun.com/?p=18819#comment-20007There are some beautiful yellow magnolias blooming right now at Holden Arboretum.. I think that one is my favorite.. Its just beautiful.

I love the Dogwoods too but in N Tex, they dont grow well.. except for one hill east of town out in the middle of nowhere. No one knows how they got there or why they thrive.. but thrive they do.. And draw a crowd for a week or two while they’re in bloom. Its a total anomaly.

I love your pictures.. I too take pics of trees and everything else :D

The Dogwood has always reminded me of my Grandfather. I didn’t know him well. The last time I saw him he spoke of the Dogwood tree outside his window and how much he loved it.

I haven’t seen one since (as far as I know) but noticed they had them at the tree farm last weekend. So I may have to find a place in my yard for one or two.

I agree, Magnolia tree is fantastic but around here the Purple Leaf Plum is the winner in my book. :-)

Tue, 10 May 2011 16:55:00 +0000http://chiotsrun.com/?p=18819#comment-20002It is a toss up between dogwoods and redbuds. I absolutely love both and where I live (intermountain west) they must be planted in a spot with afternoon shade. The dry air and intense sun is too much to be in the open. I am currently working on a spot for three of these fine specimens but which shall I pick? Pink flowering dogwoods such as ‘Cherokee Chief’ or the dark leaf ‘Forest Pansy’, redbud?
